Lacrosse festival winners

3rd October, 2011

Packwood’s Under 13 lacrosse team enjoyed a successful start to their season at the Berkhamsted School Lacrosse Festival last weekend.

The girls stormed to victory in the very competitive tournament which attracts entries from all the strongest lacrosse-playing schools around London.

There were 18 teams in the Under 13 section and Packwood were undefeated in the group stages of the competition held in the morning.

In the afternoon, the girls had to contend not only with tough opposition but also the hot weather as the temperature climbed to 30 degrees. They played five matches, winning four of them and the tournament overall. England lacrosse coach, Lucy Linch, presented the girls with the winners’ trophy.

Packwood coach, Mrs Draper, congratulated the girls on their performance and was delighted to hear compliments on their high standard of play from parents and representatives from many of the other schools at the festival.
